A few weeks back I was invited by Hillary from”My So- Called Home” to join her in a $5 Goodwill challenge summer edition. Hillary asked myself and a few other ladies to join the challenge with her. Sure… That’s right up my alley.

The Challenge was…You can shop at Goodwill, thrift store, yard sale, and second hand stores etc…  See what you can find for $5 as is or something that needs a little love. Next, it has to be a Summer Decor related, beachy or patrotic. Then the day before summer begins the ladies will post their finds on Youtube! Here’s what I found on my hunt. This platter and this cute little ceramic box.

 

Being that I have touches of roosters displayed throughout my kitchen. This $2 purchase from Goodwill was perfect for my summer decor in my kitchen.

This sweet little ceramic box I got for $.99 cents. I almost breezed on by it.  It was tucked away on the bottom shelf.

 

Creative Memories is the maker of this little treasure. Not knowing what this box was, I did a Ebay search. The meaning behind it blew me away.  It’s used for writing your treasured thoughts and memories down and putting them inside the box. Besides the cuteness of this little treasure. It’s valued between $19.99-$29.99. I will use this box to put treasured recipes inside.

 

Adding my three ceramic artichokes and a little greenery, It made the perfect summer decor for my kitchen. Thanks Hillary!
